Okay. I got .NET all installed and have VS .net. Now I'm trying to set up a new dev instance for 3 clients in IIS. client1.blah.com,client2.blah.com and client3.blah.com - Pre .NET I just choose the server and did a new web site and bamo all done - but in W2k w IIS 5 - there is no option to make a new web site or ftp or smtp site? What gives? Also anytime I try to create a project VS.net seems content on creagting a virtual directory under my default web site - now I'm sure I can change that but does .net force you to put all 'sites' under the default site - in some vain attempt to make you use these crappy fp server extensions to make child web and stuff like that?!?If you can't create a new website in IIS 5.0, you're probably using W2k Professional, rather than Server.ahhhh... sometimes things are so obvious you look right past them.. yes I am... and my main server is a 'server'.. sometimes I feel so dumb.. thanks for the sanity.
